| I made some cuttings from a Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii Jade' about two or three months ago and they are beginning to emerge. I wanted to share a photo of their progress (I think I might have one or two more under the soil line). Enjoy!

| Hi Planto, Nice work, looks like summer was the optimal time to do this. In future, it wouldn't hurt to start 'em in smaller pots, in more shallow mix (may root & start up faster, at least indoors, I don't have the advantage of outdoors to grow in. Tips from Norma which I've found helpful). |

Stush,
Thanks, I'll post more photos as they get bigger. PG,
No worries, they all started in 2.25'' pots. I just repotted them today (I'd like them to grow together) and that's the smallest pot I could find that they'd all squeeze in (with the Mother leaves still attached. Once the Mother leaves die, I plan to stick them in a smaller pot again (Still together). Planto |

| If those are yellow/white margins on your leaves, the mother plant is actually a 'Jade Dwarf Marginated'. The pups should lose the colored margins and become, S.t.Hahnii 'Jade Dwarf". Congratulations on having the patience to grow from leaf cuttings. |

michaela,
Nope, no yellow margins, but thank you for your input! Planto |

| Is it true that Sans lose the variegation when propagated vegetatively? |

Larry,
Sans do indeed lose their variegation when propagated from leaf cuttings. If you want to keep the variegation, dividing the rhizomes is the only way to do it that I know of. Planto |

| I kind of prefer plants without that kind of variegation anyway. I just need to find someone that has one...;) |

Greenlarry,
Should be no problem. just ask some one who has a sans you want to give you a stem cutting. It could be a small one. Read down the post and find Pirate_Girl. She has the trick to rooting them as well as the post above.

Being from the UK I can see some problems. Keep searching the internet and some one in UK must have collections they are willing to share.
Check out Michael Phillips photos of Sansevierias;

See if you can email him. Maybe? |

| I believe Alan Butler sells to England. He's got nearly everything under the Sansevieria sun. |

| I know it hasn't quite been a month but they're exploding and I just wanted to share a new photo. I had to take one leaf out (had four originally) and I made a makeshift pot with a clear tray used to catch water (the large clay pot was making me nervous after all... Thanks for the concern PG, you were right). Planto |

| Amazing! Those sure are pretty! Looks like they're glowing. |
